That’s the first lie right there…

Isn’t this a “friend” too lame to use voting/any machine kind of story?

Responding to the accusation that MTG was a “very good friend”, Satan claimed that he has only met her once and was only in Georgia for a fiddling rematch.

Oh, but this is an entirely new claim about this election, not the last one, totally different! (So this shit has to be debunked all over again.) At least the claim is being made at a point where it’s pretty dang easy to debunk, at least.

At best. But yeah, it makes the story very plausible because I would totally believe that MTG has “friends” incapable of using voting machines.

I dunno - a person keeps pressing the button for “not-Trump,” keeps getting confused as to why it didn’t register a vote for Trump, has to do it multiple times before they get it right, but blames the voting machine - pretty much par for the course for MAGAts.

Here’s hoping Dominion can go after MTG the way they went after Fox News.

I know, politicians seem immune to that kind of thing. But one can still dream, right?

I am 100% sure this didn’t happen. So how did it end. It kept making the same error? Did they finally have a poll worker help and it went through OK? Did it never print out the correct output? If it did print out the wrong name, there is no way this was user error, right?

Dominion should sue her ass.

I asked my very good friend if they voted for me and my boyfriend.

I tried to but it kept changing my vote to the other candidate so I just left it.

In other words…

Sure Marge, I voted for you, now leave me alone.

Did it change all the votes down the ballot or just Marge and trump?

The cheating algorithm can only change two votes. The democrats are evil geniuses but not genius enough to control congress.

The county responded, sure sounds like voter error and not machines flipping votes.

The Whitfield County Board of Elections & Registrar’s Office is aware of a Facebook post stating that a printed ballot didn’t reflect the voter’s selection. This issue was quickly resolved while the voter was still on-site. We assure everyone that we’re here to support you in your right to vote, so please always double check your printed ballot before putting it in the scanner. If at any point while voting you need assistance, please ask and a poll worker will be happy to help you.

Dominion’s lawyers are rubbing their hands. As they should. If Dominion hasn’t given them double overtime for working weekends to get these writs out, STAT, they should have.

And yet I’ve never heard a Republican politician complain about the machines used in some parts of Indiana: you don’t get any paper proof of your vote at all. You enter your choices, one vote per screen, and at the end you hit send without being able to see all of your votes. And that’s it. No proof that you voted at all, let alone for whom. You can pick up an “I voted” sticker on your way out, though.

The irony is that it was Georgia Republicans who bought these machines a few cycles ago to replace the previous machines they claimed were un-secure.

I voted here in GA Thursday, and the machines work just fine. Marge’s friend is either really stupid, a liar, or doesn’t exist.

I like how these machines give you several times to ensure that your vote is correct (on the screen, and then once you print out your ballot, then before you feed it into the machine, and then you can see the number go up once you’ve fed it into the machine).

BTW, when voted close to the end of the day on Thursday, and there had been about 6000 who voted at the location… do you remember what the number of voters who showed up where you voted?
